Swimming is a very good exercise and it is very interesting and also a very strong exercise. Many friends will ask, can swimming help with weight loss? Which weight loss method can play a good role in weight loss? Swimming can play a good role in weight loss. At the same time, all swimming postures can help lose weight in the same way. Learning good swimming techniques can help you lose weight faster. But many beginners often wonder: How to lose weight by swimming? It doesn’t matter, today I will teach you and tell you the four common swimming postures and their effects. Breaststroke – leg strength. The thigh movement method for freestyle and backstroke is to whip up and down, only breaststroke uses kicking and clamping. The former can make the legs longer, while the latter uses the quadriceps femoris more, so it is very effective in strengthening leg strength. Butterfly stroke – chest strength. When doing butterfly stroke, the arms paddle inwards, similar to doing chest expansion exercises. It puts more force on the pectoralis major, dorsal dilators, and rectus abdominis, and has the best training effect. Freestyle – arm strength. When swimming freestyle, the biceps and triceps in the upper arms use more force, which can effectively exercise the arm muscles and also has a certain effect on improving the strength of the shoulder muscles. Backstroke - back strength. When doing backstroke, the back expanders will exert more force, which can stretch the back muscles. In addition, when doing backstroke, you need to lift your hips and glide, which is also a kind of exercise for your buttocks. (1) Hydrate your skin before swimming The water in the swimming pool is mixed with many chemicals, which can easily make the skin dehydrated. Therefore, before swimming, you can supplement your skin with some "nutrition" appropriately, apply a layer of moisturizing cream/lotion, and gently massage and pat it to help the skin absorb it. (2) Sunscreen helps block ultraviolet rays Since the ultraviolet reflectivity in water is very high, sun protection is a must. If you soak in water for a long time, ordinary sunscreen lotion will fall off due to the friction and washing of water, and the sun protection effect will be greatly reduced. When we swim, we must choose sunscreen lotion with sun protection function, so as to effectively block ultraviolet rays and reduce its damage to the skin. Therefore, you don’t have to use only one swimming method. You can use several swimming postures to exercise, so that the effect will be better. At the same time, you should pay more attention to the precautions of swimming in normal times, especially before going into the water to swim, you must do sufficient warm-up exercises to prevent cramps. |
